Electrical Dangers
Electricity obeys no law, but its own.

1. Electricity is an ever-present danger when using an Aerial Device. Follow all OSHA, ANSI, state,
federal, and company rules and regulations when working on or near energized power lines.
2. Always maintain proper clearance from energized power lines. This Aerial Device cannot protect you
from phase-to-phase or phase-to-ground contact, which occurs above the insulated boom section.
•Allow for platform sag, sway or rocking.
•If any part of boom-tip contacts an energized conductor, the entire boom-tip, including the control
handle(s), must be considered energized.
•If any part of the boom-tip contacts a grounded object, the entire boom-tip, including the control
handle(s), must be considered grounded.
3. The booms and boom operators shall be properly insulated from any contact with electrical conductors;
including neutral or ground lines, poles, cross arms and guy wires. Utilize proper insulation such as line
covers, rubber blankets and hot line tools.
4. Never place booms, platforms or personnel between energized conductors or between an energized
conductor and a grounded conductor.
5. Do not wear clothing that when exposed to flames or electricity could increase the extent of injury.
6. Never operate the Aerial Device in an electrical environment if the fiberglass components are damaged,
contaminated by moisture or dirt or otherwise maintained improperly. At a minimum, a daily inspection
and an annual dielectric testing of all fiberglass components is necessary to maintain the integrity of the
insulation.
7. Never allow ground personnel to come in contact with the Aerial Device, vehicle or vehicle attachments
while in operation near energized power lines.
8. When working on or near energized power lines or equipment, the vehicle must be grounded and/or
barricaded and considered as energized.
9. Never rely on the fiberglass platform insulation when in the platform. It may contain small unseen cracks
that will allow an electrical path into the platform. Always use a platform liner.
10. Never touch the controls or boom-tip area when in the platform without using proper protection (wear
rubber gloves), while holding any conductors, neutrals, grounds, or other structures.
11. Treat ground and neutral conductors as energized (wear rubber gloves).
12. Wear rubber gloves when handling duplex and triplex wire.
13. All tools, accessories and other objects must be contained within the platform when working on or near
energized power lines.
14. Check the boom-tip area for any exposed conductive material and do not allow boom-tip to come in
contact with an energized phase or ground.
15. Do not carry or allow a conductor to touch your body. Wear rubber gloves when handling conductors,
even if the conductors are grounded.
16. All metal components at the boom-tip beyond the band of arrows are interconnected. Contact of any
part to an energized conductor will energize the entire boom-tip, including the controls.
17. Do not attach any metal objects from outside the platform to the inside of the platform. This defeats the
purpose of the platform liner.
18. Do not hang metal objects from the platform. It increases the chances of an accidental contact.
19. Use only non-metallic tool holders and tool trays.

What is Insulated and What is Not Insulated

The term insulated means separated from other conductive surfaces by a dielectric substance (including air
space) offering a high resistance to the passage of current (from OSHA 1926.960).
Insulated Areas
A. Area A, upper boom insulating section, provides an insulated area between area D and earth ground
when in properly maintained condition.
B. Area B, lower boom insulating section, provides an insulated area between area C and the vehicle when
in properly maintained condition.
C. Area C, elbow, does not provide insulation. This area contains conductive materials such as cylinders,
pins, boom structure, and other metal components. The operator shall not allow any portion of this area
to come in contact with an energized phase, ground conductor, or grounded objects. Proper protective
devices shall be used on all conductors. Any contact with a ground and a phase or between two-phase
conductors will create a hazard.
D. Area D, boom tip, does not provide insulation. This area contains conductive materials such as control
levers, un-insulated platform(s), platform support shaft, boom tip structure, and other metal components.
These objects must be considered connected. The operator shall not allow any portion of this area to
come in contact with an energized phase, ground conductor, or grounded objects. Proper protective
devices shall be used on all conductors. The operator shall not make contact with any portion of this
area when working on or near an energized phase, ground, or grounded objects, unless wearing proper
protective clothing such as rubber gloves and sleeves rated at the voltage of the lines. Any contact with
a ground and a phase or between two-phase conductors will create a hazard. Accidental contact of any
portion of area D to an energized conductor will energize the entire area D.
E. Area E does not provide insulation. This area contains conductive materials such as cylinders, pins,
boom structure, turntable, pedestal, and other metal components. The operator shall not allow any
portion of this area to come in contact with an energized phase, ground, or grounded objects. Proper
protective devices shall be used on all conductors. This area is attached to the vehicle that shall be
grounded through an approved ground system when working in the vicinity of energized conductors.
Any contact with a phase or between two-phase conductors will create a hazard.
NOTE: A platform liner, properly maintained will provide only for those portions of the body or
materials entirely within the liner and not in contact with any part of area D.

The insulated boom section only prevents

current from passing from the band of arrows at the
boom tip to the lower band of arrows. All components
above and below that point must be considered
conductive.
The boom tip is everything past the upper

band of arrows. All boom tip components are
structurally and electrically connected. Contact with
any part of the boom tip will energize the entire boom
tip including controls, jib, winch and platform support
structure.
Death or serious injury to the operator or

ground personnel can occur if any part of the boom
contacts an energized conductor, ground line,
grounded line, or OBJECTS. Proper clearance must
be maintained.
You must always cover the line and wear

rubber gloves with rubber sleeves, and an approved
hard hat when any part of the machine is working in or
near energized lines or conductors even when working
on a grounded line, neutral line, or ground line.
You must read the operators manual to fully

understand the protection the machine will give you.
Anytime the platform occupant(s) contact two items at different potential with out
proper personnel protective equipment, his body may become a path for electric
current and he may be electrocuted. This includes touching the controls, any tools
or items on the boom tip while also contacting a line or ground.

Electrical Insulation
The operation of this Aerial Device in proximity to high voltage electrical lines involves several hazards to the
operator of the Aerial Device, ground personnel and bystanders on the ground. These hazards are as
follows:
1. Unless the operator is insulated from the ground, any contact between the operator and a single
energized line will allow current to pass through the operator's body to the ground by means of an all-
metal boom structure.
2. Electrocution will occur if the operator gets in contact with two energized lines or one energized line and
a grounded conductor, even if the operator is insulated from the ground by the Aerial Device.
The fiberglass upper boom, fiberglass lower boom insert and fiberglass platform,
including its components, do not protect the platform operator from injury in case of
contact between two energized lines, or between an energized line and a grounded
conductor.
Working around electrical power lines is covered by ANSI and OSHA Regulations.
To reduce danger to the operator and ground personnel or bystanders on the
ground, understand and follow all rules.
IMPORTANT: Only caution on the part of the occupant(s) will protect the upper half of their body from
Hazard No. 2.
3. Contact of a metal section of the boom with a wire, below the insulation of the boom, will energize the
Aerial Device and the vehicle causing shock to ground personnel and bystanders standing on the
ground and touching the unit.
Ground personnel should never touch the Aerial Device, the vehicle or an attached
trailer while the Aerial Device is in operation near electrical power lines even
though the Aerial Device has an insulated boom and lower boom insert.
Avoid contact of any metal part or equipment below the insulated section of the
lower boom with an electrical power line. Serious injury or death could result.
4. Contact of the boom with a wire may burn the wire in two, which will cause a hazard to ground personnel
and bystanders below.
Some protection against Hazard No.1 is furnished by the fiberglass upper boom. When PROPERLY
MAINTAINED, the insulated boom protects platform personnel in case they were to contact a SINGLE
energized power line within the qualification voltage limit stamped on the nameplate. However, this
protection can be nullified by accumulation of dirt and moisture on or in the boom. Operator safety requires a
regular electrical testing program.
Some protection against inter-phase contact, Hazard No. 2, is offered by the fiberglass platform and the
optional platform liner. However, insulation strength of the platform wall is subject to deterioration due to
crazing of the fiberglass from flexure or abuse. Therefore, the standard platform liner is used for inter-phase
protection of the lower half of the body. Only caution on the part of the platform personnel and use of proper
protective equipment will protect the upper half of their body from this hazard.
Limited protection of ground personnel against contact of the steel elbow area or lower boom with an
energized line, Hazard No. 3, is offered by the insulated lower boom and a proper grounding system. The
lower boom insert, like the insulated upper boom, must be regularly tested and cleaned to ensure continued
safety. Contact with an energized line below the lower boom insert will energize the vehicle and the ground
around the vehicle. Anyone close to the vehicle may be injured. Only a ground cable to a suitable ground will
prevent damage and injury.
There is no protection against Hazard No. 4. Caution must be exercised continually to avoid making contact
with an energized line, which, if burned, may drop to the ground and cause injury to ground personnel and
any bystanders.
Ensure ground cables are making good contact with the vehicle and ground rod or neutral.

Prevention of Electrocution
1. NEVER rely on fiberglass dielectric properties around power lines with moisture present on the
platform(s) and booms. If the unit is stored outdoors, protect the platform(s) and booms from the
weather with a cover when not in use. To preserve dielectric properties, fiberglass must be kept clean
and dry.
2. REMEMBER, auxiliary equipment (such as electrical cords, communication lines, and conductive tools)
bridge the insulation between the operator and ground, rendering the insulation useless.
3. REMEMBER, your equipment cannot protect you against contact between two-phase or one phase and
a pole or a grounded conductor. Never work between electrical lines unless the proper precautions are
observed.
4. DO NOT allow any ground personnel or bystanders to touch the Aerial Device, the vehicle or an
attached trailer while the Aerial Device is in operation near electrical power lines, even if the Aerial
Device has an insulated lower boom.
5. Have insulation TESTED annually in accordance with established rules and regulations.
6. CONTROLS are not insulated and are interconnected to all other conductive components at the boom-
tip. Do not contact any conductor or wire while touching Controls.
Operation On or Near Energized Conductor
When working ON OR NEAR ENERGIZED CONDUCTORS (either known or suspected), special conditions
arise. While the fiberglass upper boom provides a high degree of electrical insulation between the platform
and the vehicle, there are several things it WILL NOT DO:
•IT WILL NOT PROVIDE PHASE TO PHASE PROTECTION.
•IT WILL NOT PROVIDE PHASE TO GROUND PROTECTION THROUGH STATIC LINES OR GUY
WIRES.
•IT WILL NOT PROTECT THE VEHICLE FROM BEING ENERGIZED IF STEEL BOOMS CONTACT A
LOWER LEVEL SECONDARY POWER SOURCE.
The fiberglass boom must be kept clean and dry for this type of work.
The fiberglass boom and platform liners must be dielectrically tested periodically to
insure the insulating properties are being maintained.
Do not assume that it is so.
Ground personnel must be warned to stay away from vehicle in case of accidental
boom contact between conductor and metallic portion of boom, which will cause
serious injury or death.

Table of Contents
Upper Controls can become energized if any part of the boom-tip past the band of
arrows on the boom contacts a conductor. The Aerial Device upper control station
has metal parts that are necessary to provide the structural support for the
components. These metal parts at the boom-tip are interconnected. The main shaft
that supports the platforms and controls also support other load carrying options
that can be added to the boom-tip.
Do not depend on machine covers for insulation. Plastic or fiberglass covers offer
limited electrical insulation. Covers are not tested, certified or maintained as
insulation.
The fiberglass upper and lower boom, in a well maintained condition, provides
electrical insulation between the upper boom-tip and the vehicle to ground. This
fiberglass will not protect the platform operator if any portion of the upper arm
control station, including options is brought into contact with an energized or non-
energized conductor and the operator is in contact with a different potential, such
as grounded non-energized conductor. This type of contact can energize or ground
the controls because all components of the upper control station are
interconnected. The fiberglass will not provide protection for the operator in phase
to phase contact or a phase to ground wire contact, nor will it protect the vehicle
from becoming energized if the steel boom section below the lower boom insert, if
so equipped, is brought into contact with an energized conductor. Serious injury or
death could result.

The Aerial Device upper control station has metallic parts which are necessary to
provide the structural support for the various components. These metallic parts are
interconnected. The main shaft that supports the platforms and controls must also
support other load carrying options that can be added to the boom tip.
The fiberglass upper and lower boom, in a well maintained condition, provides
electrical insulation between the upper boom tip and the truck as a ground. This
fiberglass will not protect the operator in the platform if any portion of the upper arm
control station, including options, is brought into contact with an energized or non-
energized conductor and the operator is in contact with a different potential, such
as, a grounded non-energized conductor. This type of contact can energize or
ground the controls because, as stated before, all components of the upper control
station are inter-connected. The fiberglass will not provide protection for the
operator in phase to phase contact or a phase to ground contact, nor will it protect
the vehicle from becoming energized if the steel boom section below the lower

PERSONNEL AND TRAINING

It is required that the crew to which a new TEREX - TELELECT Aerial Device is assigned, be given an
opportunity to become familiar with the operation of the equipment before they operate it on a job. The
operator and other crew members should be familiar with the operating procedures. The crew should
perform dry run operations until they attain a safe degree of proficiency.
NOTE: Refer to the load chart for rated capacities, boom angles and load radius.
NOTE: Do not exceed load chart capacities.
Learn the operators inspection and field maintenance requirements. Many times simple maintenance
procedures can prevent expensive breakdowns. A brief preliminary check of oil levels and operating
conditions of the Aerial Device should be made daily before the Aerial Device is put into service.
If service is indicated, do not delay. Malfunction of one component can cause

serious injury to the operator or to others if not corrected immediately.
The operator should also know the brand and grade of oil used in the hydraulic system and, if needed,
where more can be obtained.
It takes a desire to learn and a pride of accomplishment on the part of the operator to achieve the proficiency
and technique of operation necessary to get the most out of this equipment. The equipment will make the job
easier and more productive if a high degree of proficiency is attained.
A WELL-TRAINED CREW IS A PRODUCTIVE CREW!

•Aerial device parts for any damage (hydraulic cylinder, pins, welds, structural members, loose bolts,
etc.)
•Fiberglass upper boom and fiberglass lower boom insert for cracks and cleanliness. (Could affect
structural strength and insulating properties of fiberglass.)
•Fall protection with lanyard, in the platform or at the operator's platform .
•Effectiveness of controls by operating all Aerial Device functions - set outriggers into operating position
before raising the boom from the boom rest. Run unit through its complete boom travel cycle using
lower controls.
•Holding valves by stopping the truck engine with boom in raised position and operating ground controls.
•Winch line for chafing or other damage.
PRE-OPERATIONAL PROCEDURES
Before locating the truck in position to work, a careful survey of the job site should be made. This survey
should determine where to park the truck to take full advantage of its capabilities. Plan the position so that
as much work as possible can be done without moving the truck. Consider the slope of the ground and
whether or not it is firm enough to support the outrigger weight.
Use the following procedures when positioning the truck on a work site:
•Turn the warning lights on.
•Set the brakes. Place wheel chocks in position.
•Place signs, warning lights, and barricades in accordance with company safety regulations and state
laws.
•When working on or near energized lines, ground and/or barricade unit.
•Engage the power take off (PTO).
•Set outriggers.
•Remove upper boom tie down.
Operating Temperature Range
The ambient operating temperature range of the unit is given on the ID plate. Operation at the extremes of
the temperature range requires extra precautions.
Cold weather operation below 10 degrees F requires:
•The hydraulic system must be filled with hydraulic fluid having a pour point suitable for the temperature.
•The hydraulic system must be properly warmed up:
•Operate the pump at idling speed to allow the oil to warm up gradually. Cold, thick, sluggish oil may
not move fast enough and will starve the pump, thus causing severe damage.
•Circulate the oil through the system by cycling each function from the lower controls before
operation from the platform.
•The addition of oil heaters may be required.
•Operate the boom and functions slowly to prevent jerking and shock loads.
•Functions may operate sluggish and not be as responsive, so allow more time and distance when
starting and stopping movements.
Hot weather operation above 100 degrees F may require intermittent operation to allow the oil to cool or

the addition of oil coolers. Do not exceed an oil temperature of 150 degrees F.
SETTING THE OUTRIGGERS (IF SO EQUIPPED)
Position the outrigger pads, lower the outriggers firmly to the ground and on the pads and keep them there
until all work that can be done from that position is complete, and the boom is stored..
If the unit is equipped with outriggers, they must be extended to provide adequate
stability.
Do not move or position outriggers with personnel in or around the outrigger path.
If the working area is on sloping ground so that one side of the truck is low, extend the low side outrigger first
and make sure that firm contact is made. In such cases, or if the outrigger extends into a ditch or gutter and
the full extension does not make firm contact, it must be blocked up. Be sure the outrigger is centered on the
pad or blocks.
1 - 8
PRE-OPERATION
TL Series
Table of Contents
Set outriggers firmly on the ground, but do not raise weight of vehicle off ground.
Level the truck as level as possible without raising a tire off the ground.
When working from sloping or uneven ground so that the truck is not level, position
truck so that loads will not be rotated to the low side. if on a slope, position the truck
down the hill so the boom work area is up the hill.
Do not operate units with one set of outriggers with tires off the ground.
BEFORE OPERATING THE AERIAL DEVICE ALWAYS BE SURE THAT THE OUTRIGGERS ARE
PROPERLY SET.
When the work site demands that the vehicle be positioned so that one outrigger must be set on a curb with
the vehicle in the street, the span is shortened and the balance point is affected, restricting the load capacity
to the side.
If the ground is too soft to support the weight on the outrigger pad, additional pad supports must be used to
increase the support area. A recommended pad is 24" x 24" pad made of three layers of 3/4" plywood.

Setting Up for Operation on Snow and Ice

Operation on snow and ice add an additional problem due to the slippery conditions. Normal traction is
greatly reduced. Just as you need to maintain traction to walk and drive, it is required to keep Aerial Devices
in a stable position. Rotating and moving the booms may cause the truck to jerk and move. If the unit is not
set up securely the truck can slide on ice and snow while operating.
When planning your work remember that driving in snow causes snow dust to be deposited on all surfaces.
The outriggers and outrigger pads will get snow covered and slippery. Also, as you put pressure on snow,
the snow packs down and turns to ice.
The person setting the unit up for operation has the entire responsibility for a stable position. The person on
the site is the only one who can evaluate the conditions and terrain.
Proper set up requires:
•Outriggers do not slide on the outrigger pads during use.
•Outrigger pads do not slide on the ground during use.
•Set the parking brakes
•Chock wheels as required, to prevent movement down hill. Evaluate chock location to prevent the truck
pivoting around one chock.
•Set units with one set of outriggers so all tires are on the ground.
•Evaluate the terrain to determine the most flat and level set up position.
•Set up truck so if the truck does move slightly, the result isn't catastrophic.
•Do not place outriggers on Ice as slippage may occur regardless of solid footing.
To properly set up you may need to:

•Remove snow and ice down to bare ground to prevent sliding and to evaluate the support available.
Don't set outriggers on a manhole cover or the edge of a slope or drop off.
•Move as far as required into the street or road so if the truck does move, the tires and outriggers will not
slide into the ditch or other hazards.
•Choose a location for the truck that gives the best stability for the work to be done.
•Come back later, to do the work, if the roads are not cleared sufficiently.
•Use traction aids under the tires and outriggers such as sand and gravel or mats.
Operate the unit smoothly by "feathering" the controls, not jerking the levers.
STABILITY
The stability of a vehicle equipped with a rotating Aerial Device depends on the gross weight of the vehicle
and load, the slope of the work area, and whether the ground is firm enough to support the weight of the
chassis on the outrigger pads. These conditions are widely variable, so the operator must exercise good
judgment and extreme caution to learn just what his particular vehicle and operating conditions can handle.
Increasing the distance from the truck to the load will affect the stability of the Aerial
Device.
This Aerial Device has been tested for stability on a maximum slope of 5 degrees.
Working on slopes that exceed this 5 degrees may result in truck tipping over.
Units operated with torsion bars only require truck tires and suspension system to
provide stability. Failure of these components may cause unit to tip over.

OPERATION
Before using the Aerial Device, the operator should be assured that he has checked through the pre-
operational procedure making sure that the truck is properly positioned, outriggers (if furnished) are firmly in
place, or torsion bar is engaged. Extreme care should always be exercised when lifting personnel.
Before entering the platform place the control selector at the lower controls in the top control position.
After entering the platform, attach the safety lanyard to the anchor provided. Fall protection must be used
(OSHA 1910-67 -OSHA 1926.556).
•Do not allow any part of the Aerial Device to come in contact with electrical
conductors, either energized or non energized.
•Wear your rubber gloves and sleeves.
•Install shields, covers, mats, on all energized and grounded conductors.
•Wear protective and insulated head gear.
•Use platform liner.
•Death or serious injury could result from such contact or inadequate clearance
Do not move truck with personnel in platform. This unit is not designed for this type
of operation.
Study the movements required to reach the work location. Use a feathering technique with control levers to
ease the unit to smooth starts and stops. Use low speeds for starting and stopping motion, when
approaching aerial job site, and when prolonged stops will be made. Use high speed only between ground
and job site and job site and ground. Always look in the direction the unit is traveling to be certain there is
clearance for boom, platform and operator.
Raise upper boom and lower boom to clear all truck obstructions before rotating.
Avoid sudden stops or reversal of rotation as this can accelerate wear and/or cause damage to the rotation
mechanism.
Be aware of any obstacles the lower boom may strike if rotated or elevated. Also any objects which the main
boom may come close to as movements are made.
Make certain that all personnel are in the clear and that there is sufficient overhead
clearance before operating the Aerial Device.

CAB CONTROL OPERATION
MASTER CONTROL
The master control is a standard control which consists of a toggle switch (A) and a light (B) mounted on the
dashboard of the truck. The toggle switch is used to energize or de-energize the stop/start system and the
throttle control options, which may be located in the cab, at the platform, and the pedestal. When the light is
lit the toggle switch is energizing these systems.
ENGINE STOP/START (OPTIONAL)
The engine stop/start (C) is a push button control and is usually mounted on the dashboard of the truck. The
system is activated by pushing the button once and deactivated by pressing the button again. This feature is
especially convenient when the ground controls are used.
BE SURE THE TRUCK TRANSMISSION IS IN NEUTRAL AND BRAKES

APPLIED BEFORE USING THE ENGINE STOP/START.
Cab Controls mounted on the truck dashboard
(PTO) POWER TAKE-OFF (IF SO EQUIPPED)

The power take-off is a gearbox used to transmit power from the truck transmission to the hydraulic pump,
which provides hydraulic oil for the Aerial Device functions. The power take-off control consists of a "push-
pull" knob usually mounted on the cab floor and a red light mounted in the truck dashboard. When lit this red
(PTO) dash light indicates the PTO is activated and serves to remind the operator not to drive the truck with
the PTO engaged.
NOTE: Driving with the PTO engaged may damage both the pump and the PTO.
To engage the power take-off properly refer to the PTO manufacturer's operating instructions and be sure
the manufacturer's operating decals are posted in the cab with the PTO controls.

NOTE: The cable should be installed so the PTO is engaged when the PTO knob is pulled "out"
and disengaged when the PTO knob is completely pushed "in".
OUTRIGGER CONTROL OPERATION (OPTIONAL)
The outriggers (if so equipped) should always be extended to provide stability for the TL Series Aerial
Device. The outrigger controls consists of a selector lever control for each outrigger.
The selector is used to select between outrigger operation or Aerial Device operations.
The selector must be in the outrigger position for the outriggers (ground controls) to operate. Then a spring-
loaded control valve lever is used to "raise" or "lower" each outrigger. Because the outrigger control levers
are spring-loaded the handles will return to the neutral or centered position unless held in an operating
"raise" or "lower" position. One outrigger control valve operates a single outrigger. The control valve must be
located where the operator can watch the outrigger "raise" or "lower" as the control valve lever is activated.
The selector will act like an emergency stop by taking oil flow away from the active
controls.
OUTRIGGER BOOM INTERLOCK (OPTIONAL)

The outrigger boom interlock is designed to prevent the boom from being operated until the outriggers are
extended. The interlock also prevents the outriggers from being retracted before the boom is stored.
The outriggers will function when the boom is in the rest. If the boom is raised out of the rest, the outriggers
will not operate. The boom will not operate if the outriggers are not extended.

HYDRAULIC TOOL OPERATION AT THE GROUND (OPTIONAL)

The Aerial Device can be equipped with open center hydraulic tools that operate at 2000 PSI (141 kg/
cm2) and 5 GPM (19 LPM) at the ground controls. Connect the hydraulic tool hoses to the tool power outlets
(quick-disconnect couplings) and activate the tool power valve by pulling the tool power valve knob "out".
The other Aerial Device controls will not respond while the hydraulic tools ar being operated. To disconnect
the hydraulic tools, the tool power valve must be turned "off" so that the pressure in the system is relieved.
This is done by pushing the tool power valve knob "in". Then the tool hoses can be disconnected safely and
easily from the tool power outlets (quick-disconnect couplings).
LOWER CONTROL OPERATION

The lower controls positioned on the side of the turntable. These hydraulic controls are used to operate
boom movements and the rotation of the boom. An optional electrical control station located on the
pedestal and include the following controls: a stop/start control for the truck engine (optional), a two-speed
manual throttle control for the truck engine to increase hydraulic flow for tool operation (optional), and an
auxiliary hydraulic power control for the boom (optional).
The control selector lever, which has two positions is used to choose between either operating the aerial de
vice from the upper controls or from the lower controls. Note the upper controls are not operable when the
lower controls are selected and vice versa.
The remaining control levers at the turret are spring-loaded. The control lever decals identify each control
lever function. The arrows on the control lever decals indicate which position to push and hold the control
lever to select the direction of "rotation" (i.e. clockwise or counter-clockwise) or the direction of a boom
movement (i.e. "raise" or "lower"). When the control lever is released it will return to the centered or "off"
position and motion will cease.

HYDRAULIC PLATFORM LEVELING CONTROL (OPTIONAL)

(Standard with end mount platforms)
Platform leveling is achieved automatically with a master slave cylinder combination. A hydraulic control
lever (labeled "Platform Leveling") is used to adjust platform leveling, to tip the platform for clean out, or to
ease the removal of an injured operator. A placard identifies the hydraulic platform control lever and
indicates the direction to push the control lever to coordinate the fore-and-aft leveling of the platform. Do
not operate the upper boom unless the platform is in a level position.
Do not operate platform leveling with operator in the platform except in an

emergency.
ENGINE STOP/START CONTROL (OPTIONAL)

The engine stop/start control is convenient for the ground crew at the pedestal. The engine stop/start control
is operated by a push button switch labeled "Engine" at the pedestal.
To start the engine from the pedestal the truck key must be in run position and the master switch in the cab
is "on". Push the switch and hold in that position for a moment until the engine "starts", then release.
To stop the engine from the pedestal when running, push the switch, then release. Refer to Emergency
Operation for further information on the use of this control in an emergency. The engine will crank as long as
the switch is held in the "start" mode. If it fails to start, release and let the starter cool down. the control
"toggles" between start and stop mode, so it is necessary to push and release, then push again to crank the
engine if the engine fails to start.
TWO-SPEED THROTTLE CONTROL (OPTIONAL FOR 5 GPM TOOLS)
The two speed increases the engine speed when more hydraulic flow is required for tools. Idle speed is used
for boom operation. The two-speed throttle control is operated by a push button switch at the pedestal.
To speed up the engine from the pedestal, push the switch and release.
To slow down the engine to an idle from the pedestal, push the switch and release.
AUXILIARY HYDRAULIC POWER CONTROL (OPTIONAL)
If the Aerial Device's power source fails, the auxiliary power control activates hydraulic power to stow the
Aerial Device. The auxiliary hydraulic power control is combined with the two-speed control, if the unit is
equipped with optional stop/start. If the engine is not running, the auxiliary power will be turned on and off by
pressing and holding the two-speed push button.
The auxiliary hydraulic power system should not be operated longer than 30 seconds continuously.
Continuous use will drain the battery and damage (over heat) the auxiliary pump motor. Operate the

UPPER CONTROL OPERATION

SINGLE STICK CONTROL (STANDARD)
The control is located at the boom tip on the side of the platform.
The actuator lever must be squeezed to activate the system. A control lever placard indicates the direction
to move the single stick to activate a specific boom movement.
The operator needs to be familiar with the built-in compensating system that affects movements of both
booms and the boom controls. When the lower boom function is activated the lower boom will respond as
directed and the upper boom will maintain its initial angle in relation to the ground. The platform will move
the same distance and direction as the upper end of the lower boom moves. Activating the upper boom
function will move the upper boom only.
EMERGENCY STOP CONTROL (STANDARD)
The control knob on the extreme left is the emergency stop, which diverts or dumps all the hydraulic oil flow
directly to the reservoir when pushed. The emergency stop disables all operations at the platform including
the hydraulic tools. Push away to stop movement. Pull back to resume operation.
HYDRAULIC PLATFORM ROTATOR (OPTIONAL)
An operator can rotate the platform by moving the control lever. The platform will rotate 180º from one side
of the boom across the end hung position, and to the other side of the boom assembly.
HYDRAULIC PLATFORM LEVELING CONTROL (OPTIONAL)
Platform leveling is achieved automatically with a master slave cylinder combination. However a control
lever (labeled "Platform Leveling") at the lower control is used to adjust platform leveling, to tip the platform
for clean out, or to ease the removal of an injured operator. A placard identifies the hydraulic platform control
lever and indicates the direction to push the control lever to coordinate the fore-and-aft leveling of the
platform. Do not operate the upper boom unless the platform is in a level position.

TOOL POWER CONTROL LEVER (OPTIONAL)

This control lever is labeled "Tool" on the upper control panel at the platform. To select the tool power
function move the control lever from the system position to tool position. To connect or disconnect tools to
the hydraulic tool ports the tool power control lever must be in the "off" position so pressure in the system is
relieved. When tool power is selected the Aerial Device will not be operable.
Tool operation directs the oil flow to the hydraulic tools causing the Aerial Device to be inoperable. To
connect or disconnect the hydraulic tools, the control selector handle must be in the system position.
Disconnect the pressure line first when removing the tool. Hydraulic tools used with this Aerial Device must
be open center and accept up to 5 GPM (19 LPM) at 2000 PSI (141 kg/cm2).
ALWAYS RELIEVE THE PRESSURE TO THE HYDRAULIC TOOL PORTS

BEFORE ATTEMPTING TO CONNECT OR DISCONNECT THE HYDRAULIC
TOOL HOSES. WHEN THE TOOL POWER CONTROL LEVER IS IN THE "OFF"
POSITION SYSTEM PRESSURE IS RELIEVED.
AUXILIARY HYDRAULIC POWER CONTROL (OPTIONAL)

The optional auxiliary hydraulic power control is operated by an air cylinder plunger knob labeled "Auxiliary
Power". To activate this system push the air cylinder plunger knob down and release. To turn "off" the
hydraulic power, push and release the air cylinder plunger knob again. The auxiliary hydraulic power system
should not be operated longer than 30 seconds continuously. Continuous use will drain the battery and
damage (over heat) the electric motor. When tow-speed option is included, the same control knob is used for
both. When the engine is running the two-speed will function. With the engine off, the auxiliary power will
operate.
ENGINE STOP/START CONTROL (OPTIONAL)

The engine stop/start control cannot be operated unless both the truck ignition and the master control are
"on". This feature makes it difficult for unauthorized individuals to operate the Aerial Device when the truck is
locked. At the platform the engine stop/start system is operated by an air cylinder plunger knob labeled
"Engine" and is located with the upper controls.
BE SURE THE TRUCK TRANSMISSION IS IN NEUTRAL AND THE PARKING

BRAKE IS ON BEFORE ACTIVATING THE ENGINE STOP/START CONTROL.
To "start" the truck engine from the platform, push the air cylinder plunger knob (labeled "Engine") "down"
and hold it there a moment until the engine "starts". If the truck's starter does not cause the engine to crank,
release the plunger knob and allow the plunger to rise to the neutral position. Again push the air cylinder
plunger knob "down" and hold it there. Then release the plunger knob after the truck has "started". The
second push on the plunger may be required to get the latching relay into the "start" position so the truck will
"start".
To "Stop" the truck engine from the platform, simply push the air cylinder plunger knob "down" again.
TWO-SPEED THROTTLE CONTROL (OPTIONAL FOR 5GPM TOOLS)

The optional two-speed manual throttle control is operated by an air cylinder plunger knob labeled "Throttle"
with the upper controls at the platform. The two-speed throttle control is designed to operate only if both the
key in the truck ignition and the master control are "on".
To speed up the engine from the platform, push the air cylinder plunger knob (labeled "Throttle") down once
and then release it.
To slow down the engine speed to an idle from the platform, push the air cylinder plunger knob down again.
It is recommended that the engine be left at idle unless full tool flow is required. This practice will provide the
most efficient operation and minimize fuel consumption. The booms are designed to operate at engine idle
speed only.

MATERIAL HANDLING
This Aerial Device is designed primarily as a personnel lift. Whenever tools or equipment are included with
the operator in the platform the combined weight must not exceed the rated load capacity of the Aerial
Device.
Never exceed the rated load capacity of the Aerial device. Structural damage or
instability can result causing death or serious injury.
The optional lifting eye has been designed to accommodate limited material handling. Always extend the out
riggers (if so equipped) when using the boom lifting eye. Boom movements should be smooth to avoid
swinging the load. Do not exceed the load limits stated on the decal beside the lifting eye. To prevent
damage to the unit avoid dragging the loads with the lifting eye. This would subject the Aerial Device to
damaging side loads. When lifting loads, position the boom directly over the load before lifting. The platform
must be empty and fully retracted when lifting loads. When the truck is not level extreme caution must be
used when rotating loads to the low side because the truck's stability will be affected. Use of the platform
for material handling shall be avoided. The platform was designed to lift personnel only.
Increasing the horizontal distance from the truck to the load will affect the stability of
the truck. Be careful when lifting and lowering a load with the boom.
Platform shall be empty when using the lower boom lifting eye for material
handling.
The platform shall not be used for material handling.
EMERGENCY OPERATION
Emergency operation may be required if an operator is injured or the equipment malfunctions. In any
emergency, the first priority is always the safety of the personnel involved. It is always important to
remember to follow the standard work practices and the safety regulations that apply. If the Aerial Device is
operable move the platform away from the danger and into the shortest, clear path of descent to get the
operator on the ground. If the Aerial Device is inoperable consider using another Aerial Device to rescue the
operator from the platform. If an equipment defect is suspected don't allow anyone to enter the platform.
Instead if the situation allows safe operation from the lower controls, override the upper controls and
carefully lower the platform to the ground.
CONTROL SELECTOR
When a situation requires the upper controls be overridden (i.e. an injured operator in the platform) use the
control selector at the lower controls to select the "lower" controls for operation of the Aerial Device. This will
make the upper controls inoperable. Then the "lower" controls can be used to lower the operator to the
ground.
MANUAL ROTATION
If all the hydraulic power sources become inoperable, the Aerial Device rotation system can be actuated
manually. Use a 7/8" hex socket, an extension, and a ratchet to rotate the input shaft on the gearbox.
Actuating the lower rotation control will reduce the effort required for the rotation.

AUXILIARY HYDRAULIC POWER (OPTIONAL)

The auxiliary hydraulic power system provides hydraulic power from a DC motor-pump for operation of the
Aerial Device in the event of a prime power source failure. Controls for auxiliary hydraulic power are located
at the platform and optional at the pedestal and at the outrigger controls.
At the platform the auxiliary hydraulic power is operated by an air cylinder located with the upper controls. To
activate this system, push the air cylinder's plunger knob (labeled "Auxiliary Power") then operate the
controls. To turn "off" the hydraulic power, release the air cylinder's plunger knob and hold. The auxiliary
hydraulic power system should not be operated longer than 30 seconds continuously. Continuous use will
drain the battery and damage (over heat ) the motor.
At the pedestal and the outrigger controls (if equipped), the auxiliary hydraulic power is operated by a push
button switch. To activate this system push and release the switch. To turn "off" the hydraulic power release
switch. The auxiliary hydraulic power system should not be operated longer than 30 seconds continuously.
Continuous use will drain the battery and damage (over heat) the power motor.
When two-speed option is included, the same control is used for both. When the engine is running the two-
speed operates. When the engine is off, the auxiliary power operates.
INJURED OR INCAPACITATED OPERATOR
If the operator is unable to operate the Aerial Device, determine if any damage has occurred to make the
Aerial Device inoperable. If the situation allows safe operation from the lower controls override the upper
controls and carefully lower the platform to the ground. See "Control Selector" to override the upper controls.
If the Aerial Device will not operate due to damage incurred, consider one of the other auxiliary operating
procedures presented in this section to solve the problem.
HYDRAULIC LINE FAILURE
Hydraulic line failure during Aerial Device operation presents numerous hazards. Be aware that a hydraulic
oil mist caused by a leak or hydraulic line failure is conductive even though a non-conductive oil is used. Oil
is very flammable when sprayed out under pressure.
In addition a hydraulic line leak can create a vacuum in the line which is also conductive. Furthermore, most
hydraulic oils are flammable if ignited. Another danger to personnel are burns from contact with hot oil. The
operator and the ground crew must be alert for these hazards to avoid injury.
A SPRAY OR MIST PRODUCED BY A HYDRAULIC LEAK UNDER PRESSURE

IS VERY HAZARDOUS TO PERSONNEL. THIS SPRAY OR MIST CAN
PUNCTURE OR BECOME EMBEDDED BENEATH THE SKIN. THIS CONDITION
WOULD REQUIRE IMMEDIATE MEDICAL ATTENTION.
A quick response to hydraulic line failure is important, if the operator is to be safely removed from the
platform. The examples below describe some emergency operating procedures to follow for some specific
types of hydraulic line failures.
•The TL Series Aerial Device design uses holding valves to lock the position of the booms in the event of
a complete hydraulic line failure. This safety feature prevents the booms from dropping.
•If there is a continuous loss of hydraulic oil from the Aerial Device, operate the hydraulic power source
only while attempting to stow the Aerial Device to conserve the hydraulic oil supply.
•A hydraulic line failure located between the upper and lower controls may temporarily allow the
continued operation of the Aerial Device. The rate of the hydraulic oil loss can be reduced by overriding
the upper controls and operating the Aerial Device with the lower controls. Thus the intermittent loss of
hydraulic oil may allow continued use of the Aerial Device or some functions until the oil supply is
depleted. If the oil supply is depleted discontinue operation of the hydraulic power source to avoid
damage to the hydraulic pump.
NOTE: An oil spill may require notification of Local, State, or Federal Agencies.

ENGINE FAILURE
If the prime power source fails, the optional auxiliary power system can be used for emergency operation. If
this system is not installed, use the engine stop/start control to crank the engine if the truck has a manual
transmission.
HYDRAULIC PUMP FAILURE
If the primary hydraulic pump fails use the auxiliary hydraulic power system, if so equipped.
CONTROL VALVE FAILURE
A control valve malfunction could develop in either the individual control levers or the multi-function single
stick control.
If Aerial Device motion cannot be stopped because a control lever will not return to the centered or neutral
position, activate the emergency stop mode by pushing down the emergency stop. The emergency stop
position will disable the boom controls which will stop the Aerial Device's motion. If the engine stop/start
control is installed, "stop" the engine and the Aerial Device's motion will cease. Then manually attempt to
center the spring-loaded control lever before restarting the engine. If the spring-loaded control lever at the
platform will not return to neutral, the Aerial Device can be operated by overriding the upper controls with the
lower controls.
After any emergency situation, it is the operator's responsibility to notify appropriate maintenance personnel
to make sure the Aerial Device is repaired and adjusted.
Identifying the problem and initiating the recommended emergency procedures promptly will help to
minimize or possibly prevent injuries.
LEAVING THE JOB SITE
•Retract the upper boom fully.
•Rotate turntable to stored position.
•Lower the lower boom fully.
•Lower the upper boom into its rest.
•Remove all tools and supplies from platform. Position the platform cover in place if one is supplied.
Place platform in stored position for travel.
•Connect and tighten the boom tie down strap.
If the upper boom tie down strap is not in place for over the road travel, the upper
arm fiberglass can be damaged to the point that failure may occur.
•Make sure that outriggers are fully retracted and if extra pads have been used that they are properly
stored or disengage torsion bar (whichever is applicable). Stow all loose tools and equipment. Turn off
vehicle warning lights.
•Disengage PTO before travel to prevent damage.
•Remember the overall height of the unit.
•Shut off master switch.
•If any problems were encountered during operation, report them to the proper person(s) for
maintenance and repair.
Drive carefully!
